Winning the AFC West will go a long ways in making that point.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we could go lossless this year and the talking heads will say it had to do more with anything except us being good. Easy schedule, starting QBs we face, Fox's heart, the moon's gravity......anything. The bottom line is the NFL financially fears too many smaller market teams being in the mix. They don't mind a few, but at some point matchups like KC v Arizona or Carolina v. Jacksonville getting too deep into the playoff picture is going to hurt their pockets. Ask them, they'll deny it.... That's how you know it's true - because they'll dismiss it outright.
